Study Reveals Sleep Disruption Could Increase the Risk of Autism in Children

A study from the University of North Carolina reveals a potential link between early-life sleep disruptions and autism risk. The research shows that when young children miss out on sleep, it could affect their brain development, which might increase the likelihood of neurodevelopmental issues. For infants and young children, sleep…

Innovative mRNA Delivery Technique Could Correct Genetic Disorders Before Birth

Innovative mRNA Delivery Technique Could Correct Genetic Disorders Before Birth

In a new study from UC Davis and UC Berkeley, researchers have developed a method to deliver mRNA to fetal brain cells, potentially offering a way to correct genetic disorders like Angelman and Rett syndrome before birth. By injecting messenger RNA (mRNA) encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) directly into fetal…
